Jimmy McGovern and Jan McVerry's The Street was so good last night that it almost made you forget that Liverpool simply does not produce prostitutes who look like Anna Friel. She played Dee (left), forced to sell her body to pay for a house in the catchment area of a decent school. By the end she had attained martyrdom, sainthood and two places at St Peter's. Having misinterpreted, according to some readers, the end of last week's episode, I am loath to stick my oar in here, but was there not an indication at the end that Dee was serious when she said that her boys had got in because she had “shxgged” the governing body's vicar? After all, in his speech comparing her to Jesus, he called her by her professional name Rudy. How would he know? Complaints to the usual e-mail address, please.
